Connecting Track on Modulars

If the modules are going to be only attached to your module, and the same one each time, the job can be accomplished by running the track right to the end of the module. Do this such that when the mudules are connected there is less than 1/16" between the ends of the rails. The idea is to not join the rails at all. The power is carried in wires under the table, not thruogh the rails between modules. One thing this method requires is that the modules be algined by pins or some other permanent method. Does this work? The club I was in had a four section modular layout that we configured in that manner. It is very hard to convey this method with words only. The best part is it works like a charm. We moved this layout many times without having any problems. If anyone is really interested, please contact me directly. I will be happy to work with you to help you understand how it is done. It's not very complicated, just hard to explain without pictures. Ted Fuchs ted_fuchs@yahoo.com
